Gas v Liquids

[Abigail Menchaca_1H]

Why do gases have a higher entropy than liquids?

[Tracy Tolentino_2E]

Gases have a higher entropy than liquids because they have a higher number of microstates. They occupy a greater volume than liquids and can move at greater speeds. As a result, they can occupy different positions and arrangements.

[Zoya Mulji 1K]

for the reasons above liquids also have higher entropy than solids so entropy increases from the solid state to liquid state to gaseous state.

S(gas) >> S(liquids) > S(solids)

[Jessica Katzman 4F]

Gas has a higher entropy than liquid because the molecules can move more freely and therefore occupy many more states.
